Back garden is good and done

 For all intents and purposes, the back garden is done. The plants and shade-trees are growing around the edge; the bark garden which will be hedge eventually, around the bird-bath, is all planted, and edged; and all I want to do is make sure the lawn is nice grass and mown.

I'm pretty pleased with it at this early stage.I want to plant a pink and a white frangipani on the edges of the shed, for shade, with the figgy in the middle, espaliered. 

I still need to lay the drainage pipe and agi-fabric behind the shed and this side of the retaining wall, as well as fill it in with extra soil. I have been putting it off as I am scared of not doing it right. However, after recent heavy downpours, and no flooding problem into the shed from the retaining wall at the back, as far as I can see, I don't think I need to worry too much. It will just help with extreme run-off.

It has been worth the long wait, the experimentation, and the hard work.

24 Jan 2021 - This top end is growing so painfully slowly. Maybe the soil needs some serious feeding.

Can you say 'profusion'?

 

This kitty is a climber

 The others did not climb, but this one is!

More new baby kitty Rose

 From Dec 2020 to Jan 2021 -

She has begun to lap water from the container in the bathroom, which is good. I keep it fresh and clean.

And, good news, she has begun to sleep with Tutti and not annoy her!

22 Nov 2020 -  I wormed her this morning (Capstar tab) but she sicked up all over my bed! Had to wash the sheets again.

30 March 2021 - This baby has grown so much. Here she is cavorting around outside the gate as I prepare to leave home to drive to work.

Kitty family in the new year

 

Rose is fond of continually tormenting Tutti, but that is easing off some now. She still jumps her but more frequently is after her swishing tail when she is annoyed. I have caught them sleeping in the same space together lately which I hope augurs well!
